Security Operations Analyst (AI Training)
About The Role
We're partnering with leading AI research labs to build the next generation of AI systems that reason through real-world security incidents. As a Security Operations Analyst, your hands-on SOC experience will directly shape how AI detects, investigates, and responds to threats — making a meaningful impact on the future of cybersecurity.
If you've spent time in a SOC, responded to incidents, or triaged alerts for a living, this is your opportunity to bring that expertise to the cutting edge of AI development.
